Loving Lincoln right now

[railer]

Good God, that car pictured in post #23 is hideous from all angles. Is that the current Lincoln styling trend?

edit: Well, I guess the sedan is not hideous from the back 2/3 view. The other two are horrific.

Those are three different cars

MKZ

MKT

MKS

Why in the world they couldn't go pick the car up from the dealer?? That's just lazy and bizarre....but I guess typical

Because there was no way to cancel the "bespoke experience" car delivery nonsense at first; they had to speak with one of the managers at the dealerships to be able to just do it on their schedule.

 

[vi edit]

The MKT is one of the most hideous cars on the road right now. The back half of it is just an abortion of design elements that couldn't generate anything remotely cohesive.

I completely agree with this. The MKZ is passable design with a really nice interior. They need new styling.

At the last auto show, I was actually more impressed with the MKZ interior than the ATS interior. The MKZ had the advantage in the details. Just can't get over the styling.

I signed up for a brochure in hope of free maui jim glasses. 😉

MKZ = average looks at best

MKT = ugly as sin

MKS = ugly as sin

MKZ = meh

MKT = ugly as sin

MKS = bland and boring.

Fixed. Their retro language swings between beige camry bland and wtf whale mouth ugly... the whole brand needs a reboot.

Fixed.

They need to make a big mafia looking Town Car, a big mafia looking Continental with suicide doors and a retro-styled Lincoln coupe with lots and lots of power. They'd be profitable in no time.

That said - I simply can't understand Ford's direction for Lincoln after 2006 to now. I have no desire to buy another one and when I was shopping for a new large sedan (I just purchased a 2012 Chrysler 300) Lincoln wasn't even in the running (although the Taurus was).

^ This. That's when they axed the LS :|

OMFG it's a Cylon raider!

finally got the giftcard today, probably sent the thing in about 2/3's way thru May

Looks like a hearse. Awful.

 

[maziwanka]

saw a new mkz before it came out (friend of a friend had a press car) - it was really sharp in person. didn't get to sit in it for a drive, so i don't know any of that, but it looked nice.

My thoughts, exactly. I wonder if the designer claims that he based this design on some old Lincoln styles...

Perhaps Ford is trying to run Lincoln into the ground to avoid the dealership lawsuits that would result from closing down the brand.

Wonder how the reliability is on the Jaguar XF. Same platform as the LS.

yea I think the new MKZ is a fantastic looking car
